Top reviews from the United States
This little book is great! I have wished for a field guide exactly like this one for years. It is extremely well-written and organized, and illustrated with lots of color photos of the 41 species (35 mammals, 5 birds, and 1 reptile).
The author packs an enormous amount of helpful information into this user-friendly field guide. Each species has a chapter which includes physical description, as well as sections describing tracks, diet, scat, habitat, and breeding info. There are also tips for camera trapping each species.
Specific behaviors that might prove helpful to a naturalist interested in camera trapping are discussed including some that are not yet well-understood. The latter thrusts the user of this book into the role of citizen scientist and offers opportunities to explore and study current wildlife topics and puzzles.
At the beginning of the guide the author provides a mini course in camera trapping with sections on selecting the proper camera, image quality, trigger speed, flash, batteries, sensitivity, user interface, where to put the camera and when to retrieve it, as well as how to set it up and minimizing your impact. All of this is informative, clearly presented, and really helpful to both the novice and seasoned camera trapper.
